Sweet Prom
Prom Themes Ideas
There are many prom themes ideas for your committee to choose. Deciding on a theme is one of the more important decisions your High School planning committee will make. Just keep in mind with prom themes there is room to add or subtract details. If you remember this, then you should easily be able to pick out prom themes ideas that a majority of the Junior Class students can agree on.
Prom Ideas
Are you trying to go for something out of the ordinary or keep it more relaxed? Your budget, resources, and creativity will establish the boundaries for any prom ideas. The budget can give you a sense of the location for the venue since these facilities will vary with price. If you are planning a Michigan prom, I recommend choosing a banquet hall that is close in you area to reduce driving time (25 minutes or less). Some venues might make decorating more challenging, while others might spark your creative sense. The more resources your decorating committee has, the better. If you can make a majority of the decorations, or rent pieces at a discounted rate, this will save money and you will be able to allocate funds elsewhere. The disadvantage is that usually hand making decorations takes time and people. Usually this is feasible for high school prom themes that average 500 students.
Prom Themes
Now if you are brainstorming prom themes where the guest list is in excess of 1,000, then you will have to choose a bigger facility as well as one exceptional prom theme. Below are a couple of quick things to consider before we rattle off a list of prom themes ideas.
Are looking for something romantic?
Are you trying to match it with current trends?
Do you want something mysterious?
How much fun can you incorporate into the prom theme?
Prom Theme Songs for Prom
There are many popular prom theme songs for you choose from. I listed them below. These are just some of the theme songs for prom that your committee can use. Feel free to improvise if your theme varies with a more current song of choice. We also provided a list of other high school dance themes.

Top 10 Prom Themes
Below is a list of the top 10 prom themes we have seen done, or know that work for high school dances. Basically any theme can be made a top 10 as long as it is well thought out and planned in advance.
1.) Tomorrow Never Dies Prom Theme (James Bond)
2.) Hollywood Prom Theme
3.) Masquerade Prom Theme
4.) Irish Prom Themes
5.) Water Prom Themes
6.) Arabian Nights Theme for Proms
7.) Egyptian Prom Theme
8.) Black Tie Prom Theme
9.) Carnival Prom Theme
10.) Paris Prom Theme
High School Prom Colors
There are many colors for you to choose from. You can either have them slightly offset, match your school colors, or have them be completely different. I recommend having your high school prom colors match the theme. This will give you dance more balance and keep things consistent with what students will be expecting. A couple of events based just on colors:
All White Party Prom Theme
Black and White Ball Prom Theme
How to Choose a Prom Theme
Which one should you go with? Do you need more help with how to choose a prom theme? Well, it is important that you avoid doing the same prom theme two years in a row. Also you should check with local high schools to make sure that you do not accidentally duplicate their ideas (this might create bitter feelings). Make sure you prom theme is achievable with the banquet facility you have chosen, and that resources for decorating can be found easily. Also order a variety of prom catalogs to give you an idea of what you have to work with. Lastly hyping your high school prom is extremely important (this will help improve ticket sales). Make sure to play the song, and remind students of the theme with any school announcements/pep-rallies. Working with you budget is important for planning a high school prom dance, but you also have to give the students what they want. What is that.... a great send off for the seniors and something that makes your freshmen and sophomores anticipation next years' prom!
